Man battered woman outside a primary school in front of her son

A thug battered a young mum outside a primary school ‘on behalf of her jailed armed robber ex-boyfriend’, a court heard.

Thomas Linsner, 25, left Laura McPartland with a cut to her head after spitting at her and punching her, in full view of her little boy, outside St Cleopas Primary School in Toxteth on the afternoon of October 11.

Career criminal Linsner was said to have approached the victim on behalf of her ex Dylan Hyams – who is serving a 10 year jail term for a spate of armed robberies.
